Or try 224 valkery. Your budget will determine what you get. .223 REM is a soft and inexpensive round to shoot. The best budget combo might be the Ruger American Predator with scope. You have alot with that setup.
If you want to see the holy grail of precision rifles, google Tactical Operations Echo 51 and prepare to drool.
Don't worry about the "basic" rifles not being up to a task.
A cheap Ruger American can, and will, make long range hits.
One of the members here has 2 of them I believe, IIRC 1 was 6.5x55 Swede and I don't recall the others caliber - but the 3 shot grouping was so close to being 1 hole it was awe-inspiring.
I've made it a point to not look it up, don't want to know what it'd set me back.
i’m looking to purchase a sniper rifle. Since i’ve never fired a sniper rifle before, what would you guys recommend for a newbie like me that’s worth the money?
